It's starting to get down to the wire on rescuing Geocities pages -- I think the purge has already started, given some pages I suddenly can't find -- and there's a staggering amount that hasn't been done yet.

So I thought maybe it would be good to have a post where people could at least leave links to Geocities pages, maybe with a very short description of what they are, so wiki editors would have a starting place. (Links to screencaps of existing pages would also be awesome, so those could be uploaded to Fanlore later, but that would be icing.)

That way, even if not everything gets done, we have a chance of being able to find these pages on the Wayback Machine later -- once we lose the links, we've lost our chance.

I'm already starting to see this:

Hi,

I am the webmaster of the NewsRadio FanFic Archive hosted at the Geocities Television City neighborhood (
http://www.geocities.com/TelevisionCity/Lot/2701/). I have already taken liberties to preserve my page by submitting it for inclusion in the Internet Archive Wayback Machine Geocities Preservation sweep, and I've copied it to Angelfire (http://newsradiofanfic.angelfire.com/) so that I may continue to update it in the future. Please feel free to document my fanfic site as you see fit, since the stories therein constitute an important part of television fanfic history, and all contributing authors deserve to have their work preserved for posterity.

Sincerely,

-Dale Dassel
NewsRadio Fanfic Archive webmaster
